New research suggests the brain may stay active moments after the heart stops, triggering life recall and calm sensations ...

Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...

Researchers at MIT’s Picower Institute found that rotating waves of brain activity help restore focus after distractions. In animal tests, these rotations predicted performance: full rotations meant ...

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

This public domain/Wikimedia Commons image of monitors working in the security operations center at the University of Maryland illustrates a challenge of visual working memory: keeping track of what ...
